Anyone remember IBM Watson Health? IBM started it almost 10 years ago(!) after they did the whole "AI plays Jeopardy" thing. There was much fanfare in the tech press. Then in 2018 IBM laid off about half of the Watson team. Eventually Watson Health was sold off at a loss to a VC firm, which then did another round of layoffs last year.

I wonder if Med-Gemini will have any more luck. It's a generation ahead of Watson, of course, but on the other hand Google is starting to look a lot like IBM these days (and its track record for keeping side projects going is already a meme).

Netanyahu funded Hamas because he had a cunning plan:

‘Buying Quiet’: Inside the Israeli Plan That Propped Up Hamas

As far back as December 2012, Mr. Netanyahu told the prominent Israeli journalist Dan Margalit that it was important to keep Hamas strong, as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. Mr. Margalit, in an interview, said that Mr. Netanyahu told him that having two strong rivals, including Hamas, would lessen pressure on him to negotiate toward a Palestinian state.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q...

What a guy, that Bibi. He's so cute and smart, you just want to pinch his cheek and ruffle his hair. He funded Hamas to encourage them to fight the PA so they would not work together to create a Palestinian state. What an amazingly bright plan! Sending millions to Hamas? I mean what could ever possibly go wrong?
It’s also a matter of printing technology, letterpress, vs offset. The latter tends to have less ink spread. It’s also a matter of printing on dry vs damp paper (letterpress works best on slightly dampened sheets of paper which contributes to the ink spread). Then there are things like subtle curves that don’t digitize well (digital Optima is a poor approximation of the original analog letterforms).

The moral issue I have is that simply put, if I don't have the money for something, I wasn't meant to have that something. I need to earn the money for it, after which I deserve to have that something.

However, the most basic clean-and-functional versions of basic necessities (food, water, shelter, and transportation) should be accessible to everyone working a full-time job, in my opinion, without having to spend other peoples' money.

3 out of those 4 are attainable even with a low-paying job, it's really just shelter that is the problem.

> Why is avoiding debt a risk averse strategy?

Note that they said avoiding ALL debt.

For example, my student loan collects interest at a rate of 2.9%. Therefore, it makes sense to maintain that debt if I believe (and accept the risk) of making an investment that pays back a rate of 10%.

Financially it might make sense to keep that debt, pay the minimum and invest cash into let's say an index fund.

If you have a hardline stance that you NEVER want any debt, then you are basically saying you're highly risk averse (at least when it comes to ending up in the negative).
and despite having learned about it years ago i still can't remember to use it.
This doesn't solve the problem much.

1. If you are using buckets for static website hosting, amazon's own docs require you to use the website name as bucket name.

2. If you are using pre-signed urls, they expose the bucket name.

3. Bucket names must be between 3 (min) and 63 (max) characters long and have various limitations. So, it's not too hard to guess bucket names and run millions of requests without even having an account.

> Not a reasonable interpretation.

You’re not responding to the strongest form of my argument here or to that of TFA in OP, as is encouraged by the HN Guidelines, instead opting for a dismissive, argumentative attitude which isn’t really helping your argument, to be honest.

I mean, you aren’t really making much of an argument, either, just authoritatively stating your opinions as fact with no actual factual basis or even any attempt to articulate your own views.

Anyone can be contrary, but to simply say “I disagree” or “you’re wrong” isn’t consistent with HN Guidelines either, so I’m not sure what you want me to do with your responses here.

It’s fine to have a difference of opinion or disagree regarding matters of fact, but you really owe it to yourself and to the other visitors to post better.

The reason you're talking about an election that took place 18 years ago is that, after seizing control in Gaza, Hamas refused to ever hold another election. A supermajority of Gazan residents aren't old enough ever to have voted in an election held in Gaza. Whatever happened in 2006 --- and you'll get lots of stories about it if you go digging --- the Palestine that exists in 2024 did not elect Hamas.
I think a public wifi network effectively being able to disable someone's VPN is pretty bad.
There are numerous ways to defeat a VPN on a client device, this is why I prefer to put a router that terminates VPN tunnels with no other available routes between my clients and the Internet when I feel the need for a VPN. You can trivially set up one of these "travel routers" and carry it with you everywhere, which is exactly what I do.

I'll quote it again.

Off/danger. Number up/number down. Occupied/available.

Websites were just one example of UI.

We may distinguish between USENET the public network that is part of the Internet (considerd "out of date" by many because it is not Web based, and indeed suffering from spam) and the USENET protocol, which you can use to set up your private version of USENET-like discussion groups.

In fact, many organizations had (and some still may have) inhouse groups, often prefixed "local." e.g. "local.events", "local.jokes" etc.

Advantage: threaded discussions, open standard (many existing open source readers e.g. Emacs: M-x gnus)
Not really. Jenson’s typeface (modern revivals include Montype’s Centaur and Adobe Jenson) retained a lot of calligraphic features which figure less in later faces. Garamond is much more of a type design than lettering in type and Caslon is wholly typographic in its nature.
Yes. The only critical issue I'd see with Usenet's client interfaces would be linking cross threads.

At some point a thrrad becomes irrelevant because of parallel discussions in other threads, being able to easily redirect to a specific point in another thread helps a lot. But that requires an URL, and messages ids weren't used for that purpose.
If I code up to the specification given by the business, a feature that annoys customers and makes them switch to the competition, is it my problem?

For engineering department amount of "value-add" or how many features they deliver (to the specification of course, if the requirements are bad, it is also on business) is the only measure of productivity. Because that is something they can have control over. Reasonable time is implied by delivering amount of value-add.

Don't go overboard with the definition, it should be context of engineering, not the whole company. If business cannot come up with good features that time is wasted for the company but engineering is doing what they are paid for.
Do you believe that taking investment is immoral as well, then? That access to resources should be entirely based on past work/achievements, with no judgement applied to anything to be done in the future? That does seem to be the standard you are applying to yourself, at least.

(And again, I do agree that housing is incredibly overpriced in much of the world, it's just that debt vs not doesn't have much to do with it. The high price of mortgages is the same reason the rent is high, and the rent being too high is a problem even if it doesn't involve debt)

> it were something man-made having the same impact as cats on bird populations there would be protests demanding that it be banned.

First we would need to study the real impact of cats on bird populations, specially out of islands.

Is a fact that cats roam the old world near people since thousands of years. Is also an easily verifiable fact that there are species of wild cats ranging from tiny to huge and living basically everywhere from deserts to the taiga. If we assume the dogmatic claims that are repeated all the time, not a single bird should be alive... but this is not what we observe.

Most European passerines somehow didn't went extinct and those that don't migrate and are more exposed to cats for more time, those... are more numerous than ever.

But the migrant birds are vanishing. How do we explain that?, maybe there is more than the cats?
> what happens when, after you do that, some calamity happens and stocks go down by more than 50%, you lose your job and you can't pay the mortgage anymore?

I don’t think that’s even that extreme. In 2020 the market crashed something like 40% and at the same time vast swaths of the population became unemployed. All of my grandparents experienced the great depression. We will be very fortunate if we aren’t heavily hit by war or economic disasters for the rest of our life.

> IMO most often complex discussions will devolve into a "let's just jump on a quick call to settle this", for better or worse.

The issue then isn't about communication but decision making.

Complex topics, for the reasons listed in the linked blog post, should not end up in "let's settle this over a talk".

I personally, to this date, consider moderated vBulletin/phpBB-like forums the highest form of long term communication online.

There are active discussion threads on many forums I follow that are decades old.

Medicaid wasn't expanded in several states with tens of millions of people living in them[1]. For example, in Texas, nobody is eligible for Medicaid based solely on their income alone.

Where Medicaid is expanded, the income requirements for Medicaid are far from sane. If you make over 100% to 138% of the federal poverty line, which is $15,060/year for an individual, you are not eligible for coverage. For example, someone who makes $16k to $21k a year, depending on where they live, is ineligible for coverage despite making poverty wages.

As for David Goggins, I mostly agree, his level of drive is impressive at some level, but also just insane- he pushes himself to do things likely to cause permanent lasting injuries just because he can. It seems like he couldn't even get along with other Navy Seals, because they weren't disciplined and motivated enough for him, and wouldn't accept ideas like training to the point of serious injury or disability. But it makes zero sense- how can you be ready for a mission when you're injured? Ultimately, it seems like he's addicted to self harming to escape emotional trauma/pain, not because he's disciplined.

Jocko Willink is a similar "Navy seal teaching you the secrets to becoming a badass" but his approach seems a lot more sane and useful, and has been more effective in his own life.
I like this article.

> When the price label is affixed by the factory/warehouse then you would have to track where everything is going and be unable to share inventory.

Price tags are pretty much universally handled at the stores. There are some goods where the price tag is attached, but that's more the exception and not the rule.

This is a solvable problem. So much so that if you've traveled in most nations you'll see that all prices include tax. Not including tax is a particularly weird aspect of US culture that simply doesn't exist in other nations, even those with a large amount of imported goods.
I think an "it" can have rights. I'll go back to the horse. It has a basic natural right not to be beaten because it's a creature that can experience pain, not because it's an "I."

The legal system (at least in the U.S.) seems to need to call something a "person" in order for it to have rights (e.g., corporations), but I don't think the legal system is the origin of rights.

"I" and "thou" go together as references to personhood, so I wouldn't distinguish between the two. (And I'm mostly using "thou" here instead of "you" to show I'm referring to the concept rather than you personally. The "I/Thou" philosophical concept also has precedent of using the term.)

Eternal September lowered the average quality of Usenet content, but it’s not what ultimately lead to its demise. I actually only started using Usenet around the mid-90s, and continued for a good decade. The problem later was spam, and web forums being much more discoverable, and somewhat easier to get started with, so that’s where new users went.

Even paying cash. Unless the establishment offers a cash discount, you’re paying inflated credit card induced compensatory pricing.

The funny thing is, we already have some experiments that do answer this. There was an experiment where two people wore glasses that projected other's physical view point and IIRC, it led to identity and gender confusion. (Unfortunately, I am not able to find that experiment link now).

Come on, you're actively avoiding anything that paints Israel as less than saintly.

> For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip — money that helped prop up the Hamas government there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them.

> Mossad chief, David Barnea, was asked a question that had not been on the agenda: Did Israel want the payments to continue?

> Mr. Netanyahu’s government had recently decided to continue the policy, so Mr. Barnea said yes.

This isn't anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

And what do you have? "Some guy on HN says Israel (and the US) supported the PLO against Hamas".

Huh. US involvement: "The US committed $59 million for training and non-lethal equipment for the Presidential Guard".

Fun fact, the amount that was sent to Hamas with Netanyahu's -specific and explicit- approval was around that much... every month... for near two decades.

But, as mentioned, I cannot see fruitful outcomes from further discussion here.
Nothing is wrong with it, but it gives a STRONG hint on demographics I bet.
Zulip has many of these features I believe. Anecdotally it seems to be great for running an online discussion forum for a high school or college level class.

> With a vent hood there is literally no issue with smell. Are you telling me that the vent hood is somehow picks and chooses which pollutants to expel leaving behind NO2?

Yes:

> […]The results show that UFP reduction varies with range hood flow rate, particle size, and burner position. Higher range hood flow rates generally increased UFP reduction within a house, though the effect of the hood flow rate varied with the particle size. At the same exhaust flow rate, lower particle reduction effectiveness was observed for smaller particles, likely due to molecular and turbulent diffusion. With regard to burner position, larger UFP removal was observed for the back burner than for the front burner. Regular and appropriate usage of a kitchen range hood during cooking activities can potentially reduce UFP concentrations; however, decisions about the design and use of kitchen exhaust hoods for controlling UFP and other combustion contaminants require consideration of both the indoor air quality improvements and energy costs. What mechanism would there be to cause it to behave this way? […]
